[Zarshal]

Ku hukkam sir. Lemme just sleep for two more hours and I’ll send it din tak xD

[Zarshal]

Ju*

[Zarshal]

This is gonna be tricky.
Okay sooo we can either distribute chapters on days or we can do it page-wise.
I think the chapter thing is better since we aren’t all going to have the same versions of the book and so the page numbers can vary. But the chapters are long and you guys seem busy a lot and might not be able to finish them in a day.
So I’m gonna distribute the chapter on days and hopefully we can finish it in around 20 days. More or less.
If you want me to do it page-wise tou you can tell me then. I can do it that way too.

[Zarshal]

Here’s the schedule:
29th August Istanbul 1999
30th August The Gaze
31st August-1st September Pera 1885
2nd-3rd September Siberia 1648
4th September Pera 1885
5th-7th September Istanbul 1999
8th September Pera 1885
9th September France 1868
10th September Pera 1885
11th-13th September Istanbul 1999
14th-17th September Istanbul 1980
18th-19th September 1999
20th September 1868 France-1648 Siberia
21st September 1999 Istanbul
Okay so maybe a little more than 20 days..
And it comes down to about 5 pages per day.
Happy reading!

Heyy @Amna
Best of luck for your exams!

[Nigham]

@Abdullah: Actually Abdullah I'm going to read a book after 8 months or so.... So thanks to Aakash for mentioning book pages, haha. That's why I voted for The Gaze. I want to get back to reading but sure as hell not starting a book having 700+ pages :p

[Abdullah]

Yeah yeah :P
Seems like I've no choice. So yeah on with "the gaze". I hope I am not too late.

[Nayab]

how much have you all read?

[Nayab]

I'm kind of having difficulty in putting up with the narration of gaze. It's so abstract.

[Nayab]

Any motivating insight to make me continue? stuck on part one +,+

[Abdullah]

I've yet to start. I'll do it in a day or two. Am reading 'my sedacious heart' by arundhati Roy, meanwhile

[Zarshal]

Every new chapter feels like reading the first few pages of a different book...

[Nigham]

@Abdullah: yeah yeah yeah yeah :p

[Nigham]

I second you Nayab. Haven't read much but yes!

[Nigham]

It was published in 2000, like 19 years ago. Haha I don't know why I felt like sharing this khabar. :p

[Nigham]

Yaar I'm the only one who feels it's super confusing?

[Nigham]

And like unnecessary details?

[Nigham]

@Amna: Shhhh aisi batein nhi poochtay.

[Zarshal]

I think you start getting the hang of it after a hundred or so pages 😂

[Abdullah]

Zarshal wrote: "I think you start getting the hang of it after a hundred or so pages 😂"

So basically after reading half the book, we get the hang of it?

[Abdullah]

Nigham wrote: "Yaar I'm the only one who feels it's super confusing?"

I'm really glad to know that ! :P


On another note, it might be difficult because it's translated from Turkish. And many translations massacre the motives of the author.

[Aakash]

So how is it going??

[Zarshal]

You’d be surprised to know that I’m wayyyy behind schedule.
I have such a busy time table this semester! 😭😭
